Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a polymer composition based on a thermoplastic elastomer and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and more particularly to a polymer composition having good heat resistance and shape memory characteristics. It further relates to a formed product made of such a polymer composition and a method of producing such a formed product with good heat resistance and shape memory characteristics.
  • An ethylene-propylene copolymer, an ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer, etc. are elastomers which are widely used as rubber materials. However, since these elastomers have relatively poor heat resistance, they are usually cross-linked after formed into desired shapes.
  • cross-linkable polymer components such as an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and then cross-linked by heating.
  • cross-linkable polymers are usually mixed with the elastomers at such a high temperature as 200°C or more, this may cause a cross-linking reaction before forming into desired shapes. This in turn makes it difficult to mold or form the resulting blends to desired shapes. In other words, such elastomer blends have poor moldability and formability. Accordingly, a polymer composition having not only high heat resistance but also good moldability and formability cannot be obtained.

  • the polymer composition of the present invention is composed mainly of the thermoplastic elastomer and the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, it has good moldability, heat resistance and formability. Accordingly, like other resins, it can be formed into thin films and also can be subjected to injection molding at a relatively low temperature. Thus, without deterioration, various shapes of formed products can be produced therefrom.
  • the formed product can have excellent heat resistance as well as shape memory characteristics.
  • the thermoplastic elastomer and the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are blended and molded at a relatively low temperature and then it is subjected to a cross-linking reaction. Therefore, the molding and the forming of the polymer composition is extremely easy, and the formed product can have extremely high heat resistance because of its cross-linked structure. Further, because of the relatively low temperature in the steps of blending and molding, there is no problem of thermal decomposition. Thus, the resulting formed product does not suffer from any deterioration of mechanical strength and elasticities.
  • the formed product of the present invention has good softness as compared to those produced by the conventional methods.
  • the polymer composition of the present invention can have excellent shape memory characteristics when formed and deformed at proper temperatures. Therefore, they can be used in various applications such as housing materials, joints of pipes of different diameters, clothings such as brassiere cups, portable containers which are folded and returned to their desired shapes when used, etc.
  • the polymer composition of the present invention may also be used for heat-resistant pipes, heat-resistant wrapping film materials, heat-resistant sealing film materials, etc.
